VERSION
This README.txt describes the allrunes version 2.1
CHANGES
1.0 First public release.
1.0.1 Removed a few remaining 8-bit characters from
frum.mf. They didn't work with the new MiKTeX
package handling system. Also added a lost table,
added an example and corrected a few spelling
mistakes in the documentation.
2.0 Added type1 versions for the main types of the
allrunes fonts, and support for them in the LaTeX package.
Merged the former Scandinavian-Gothic and the Continental
font families to a Common Germanic font family. Renamed the
commands for flipping and turning runes. Made the commands
for flipping and turning runes work for all six font families.
Inserted kerning information for the Common Germanic and
Anglo-Frisian font families. Complemented the sets of runes
with a few more, especially the Medieval one. Corrected many
spelling mistakes in the documentation.
2.1 Modified the handling of type1 fontes to take advantage
of the new map-file handling system of MiKTeX- and teTeX-
implementations. Removed a bug that prevented the use of
medieval rune with straight twigs. Minor updates to the
documentation.
2.1.1 Bugfix. \S and \P didn't work in ordinary text.
Updated the installation instructions in this file.

REQUIREMENTS
The installation of the allrunes package requires the docstrip
package. Using the allrunes package requires the ifthen package.
Processing the documentation for the allrunes package requires
the fontenc package and the ec fonts. I do not know what version
of LaTeX is required.
INSTALLATION (OF THE LATEX PACKAGE AND THE METAFONT SOURCE FILES)
The installation procedure is described in the documentation, but
since there is weak catch 22, in that you might need the fonts to
produce the documentation, and you might need the documentation to
install the fonts, it's also described here. The descriptions below
are intended to be correct for MiKTeX version 2.9, and for
texlive version 2012 in ubuntu.
1. Download the files allrunes.ins and allrunes.dtx to a preferably
empty directory. If you intend to keep the documentation, you'd
better create a suitable directory and put the files there right
now; like
<tex doc base>/fonts/allrunes/
In a typical MiKTeX system it would be
C:\Local TeX Files\doc\fonts\allrunes\
(See "Integrating Local Additions" in the MiKTeX-documentation.)
In a texlive system it might be like
/usr/local/share/texmf/doc/fonts/allrunes/
2. Start a window where you can enter commands from the keyboard,
i.e. get an DOS prompt on a Windows machine or a xterm-window
on a UNIX/linux machine. It might be necessery to run as Administrator
in Windows or as root (or using sudo) in UNIX/linux. Keep this window
open, you will need it throughout the entire installation.
3. Go to the directory where you did put the files allrunes.dtx
and allrunes.ins
4. Run the command
latex allrunes.ins
Some 231 files are generated.
5. Move all the 224 *.mf files to a suitable directory, preferably
<font source base>/public/allrunes/
which in a typical MiKTeX system would be
C:\Local TeX Files\fonts\source\public\allrunes\
In a texlive system it might be like
/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/source/public/allrunes/
6. Move the 6 *.fd files and the file allrunes.sty
to a suitable directory, preferably
<tex base>/tex/latex/allrunes/
which in a typical MiKTeX system would be
C:\Local TeX Files\tex\latex\allrunes\
In a typical texlive system it would be like
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/allrunes/
7. Refresh the file name database. In MiKTeX 2.9 you just would run
initexmf --admin --update-fndb
or find it somewhere in Start|Program|MiKTeX 2.9|Maintenance(Admin)|
|Settings(Admin)...
In texlive you would just run
texhash
8. Run the command
latex allrunes.dtx
to produce the documentation and test the installation.
Run it one more time to resolve the references, before
you view it.
INSTALLATION (OF THE TYPE1 FONT FILES)
Installation of the type1 fonts requires the allrunes package
to be installed according to the above description. Make sure
that both LaTeX and dvips works fine with the Metafont
fonts before you install the type1 fonts.
1. Move all the files (named fru??.pfb) from the type1/pfb
directory to a suitable directory, preferably
<type1 font base>/public/allrunes
which in a typical MiKTeX system would be
C:\Local TeX Files\fonts\type1\public\allrunes\
and in a texlive system it might be like
/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/allrunes/
2. Move the file allrunes.map from the type1 directory
to some suitable directory, like
<dvips base>/allrunes
which in a typical MiKTeX system would be
C:\Local TeX Files\fonts\map\dvips\allrunes\
and in a texlive system it might be like
/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/allrunes/
3. In a MiKTeX 2.9 system, run
initexmf --admin --edit-config-file=updmap
to edit the updmap.cfg-file; in that file, add the following line:
MixedMap allrunes.map
then Save, and Exit the editor.
Then, in a MiKTeX system, refresh the file name database, see paragraph 7 above.
In a texlive system, first refresh the file name database, see paragraph 7 above,
then run the command:
updmap-sys --enable MixedMap=allrunes.map
4. Update the other .map files. In MiKTeX 2.9 you run
initexmf --admin --mkmaps -v
and in texlive you run
update-updmap
updmap-sys
5. Run
latex allrunes.dtx
then try both
dvips -Ppk allrunes
(which will use the bitmapped pk fonts) and
dvips -Poutline allrunes
(which will use the outline type1 fonts). You might also try
pdflatex allrunes.dtx
